Seems this OVA was just announced... not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet (sorry if repost)... release date seems to be April 15, 2011.

Spoiler for OVA spoiler.:

All I know about it is this...

News flash for the April 15, 2011 with Volume 26, Fairy Tail has been a new OVA

The omake/OVA was titled Yokosou Fairy Hills "

The omake will last approximately 26 minutes, will also include an original story for boys, an original figure of Happy and a special cover made by Hiro Mashima, in addition to the history of Yokosou Fairy Hills, the original omake will come attached to the volume (originally the omake was published separately and was not included in any volume)

Edit: Absent minded me... It's an OVA of a omake (manga bonus chapter for you anime only viewers) where we get to see the Fairy tail females girls dorm... where everyone but Lucy lives (rent is higher and no one told Lucy about it XD, and that's the opening plot line... so minimal spoilers... it gets crazy... ) Should be very funny with lost of fanservice.

Glad the animation was decent for serious Natsu and the fight scenes. Totally delivered, along with two new BGM pieces in the second half. They fit very nicely. No idea why the narrator was used though, because he totally ruined the first half of the episode by telling us complete useless information. Ah well.

Liked the episode, except for the recap at the beginning, it was completely pointless other than lengthening the episode to the full 24 minutes with the opening, ending, and preview. I was right about Jellal purposely using fire against Natsu, which I find kind of sad because this has happened with every arc so far, Natsu gets a power up and is able to defeat the enemy because of /something he ate/allies...

I was expecting Gemini to return, but not this soon, it seems as though Lucy needed to find a way out of the situation because she lacked enough magical power at the time, so I find this a fine time for it.

Now to talk about the ending... We all know that Natsu's attack will be the one who wins out of the clash between Natsu and Zero, as Natsu always takes the win for all the last battles of each arc. In the preview, you even see Erza and Jellal talking off of Nirvana, just proving that Zero was defeated and Nirvana was destroyed. Overall, pretty good episode, and it seems that this arc will end next episode or the episode following next episode, I am just not sure which one.

A good episode. I did find it odd that Jellal used fire to attack Natsu since it would seem pretty foolish. Seems his memories are still in pieces, but he managed to get the job done here. Sad it took taking an ugly attack like that to get Natsu to listen, but not much you can do there.

Think the character I felt the most for struggling like that was Lucy. I mean out of magic and just barely able to make it to her target. We are talking about someone who got owned in a Fairy Tail pillow fight, so getting hit at all by Zero makes it a miracle that she can move. Huge save by Gemini to arrive when Lucy needed help the most.

Figured something had to happen to get Natsu some help. Erza's "just leave it to him" stance while honorable is pretty crazy. Without some kind of help or temporary boost Natsu was going to get owned and held up too long. GOod thinking on Jellal to go and help.

She definitely has potential, but just hasn't really looked into it. Probably is more mental with that personality and feeling like she couldn't do much in a fight. Her healing abilities are great so really even just a little offensive ability would help her avoid being a possible hostage again.

Very small spoilers regarding her usefullness in combat:

Spoiler:

She actually has support mage spells which make her very useful to have alongside a strong team in battle. She has a superspeed spell that can give multiple comrades enhanced mobility and pseudo-flight, and a strength spell that increases her comrades offensive power.

I wonder if the anime is going to continue far enough to get to those parts though.

Don't mind the recap in the beginning, but i thought it was kind of pointless.

So Jellal used fire to give Natsu a power up. Had me fooled for a little. He called it the flame of guilt, don't understand the naming. At least Jellal had a plan beforehand. Nice to see Wendy try and use her dragon slayer magic.

Nice to see Lucy push herself to her limits. Had a feeling she was out of magic, so had no idea how she would destroy the lacrima. Didn't expect Gemini to come to her aid. So Ichiya is indeed useful.

So Natsu got power up enough to be in dragon force mode. So does that mean Natsu can't get any stronger than that since it's the final form of dragon slayer magic? Well from the preview it looks like it'll be good enough.

Spoiler for ^:

He can get stronger. You only saw a bit of his scales on him. If he had scales all around his body, he would be very strong. He would be on a different kind of level, but he got the power off Jellal and it was special magic probably lead to him become stronger, but normal fire wouldn't really give him a big boost, probably regain all his power back to be able to fight. But "The flame of guilt" is on a different level. In my opinion.

Location: Somewhere over the rainbow, in a house dropped on an ugly, old woman.

The manga translation called it a flame of rebuke, so the name isn't too important. It's mainly to get across the point that Jellal feels guilty, and is tapping his magic to give Natsu a flame similar to etherion, to bring out his Dragon Force powers.

Other than that, awesome episode. The music really made it good for me, and I usually don't notice music much.

Also... Dragon Force Natsu owns... too bad he can't activate that power because he requires external power first. (maybe it's why they're called Dragon Slayer... because they can't activate their "True" power until they suck in a power (of same nature) that's almost equal or stronger than a Dragon)

Another thing is... Wind, in most anime and manga, tends to be the strongest element there is.
So that adds a lot of expectations for Windy.
Fire tends to be offensive.
I wonder if we'll see a Water, Earth dragon slayer too...
